This incredible photo of a Brunei jungle has gone viral, and if you’re wondering why, it’s because there are 12 members of the British Army camouflaged in it.
The unit posted the photograph along with others on its social media accounts as part of its specialist training regime and Close Target Reconnaissance training.
